Mrunal Thakur opens up her discomfort with intimate scenes

Renowned for her compelling performances and magnetic screen presence, Mrunal recently opened up about her discomfort with intimate scenes on screen, shedding light on the complex interplay between personal values, career aspirations, and industry demands.
In a candid interview with iDiva, Mrunal bared her soul, revealing how her reluctance to engage in intimate scenes had cost her several film opportunities. Recounting her journey, she shared, “I was not really comfortable doing scenes that were intimate, like romantic. I would just get scared; I’d just say no to a film, but how long could I say no?”
The actress’s candid admission highlights the delicate balance between personal comfort and professional aspirations that many Bollywood stars grapple with behind the scenes. “As much as I wanted to do a film, I had to drop because there was a kissing scene involved,” she explained, adding, “As an actor, you need to be ready because sometimes that’s the demand of the scene. If you are not comfortable, you can tell; you can talk about it, but I kept missing out on films because of that.”
Touching upon a topic rarely discussed in the limelight, Mrunal also shared her thoughts on considering the option of freezing her eggs, mirroring the choices made by fellow actress Mona Singh. “Freezing eggs, yes, I’m also considering that,” she revealed, offering a glimpse into the multifaceted realities faced by modern Bollywood stars.
In her recent outings on the silver screen, Mrunal has captivated audiences with her performances in films like Family Star alongside Vijay Deverakonda and Hi Nanna opposite Nani. As she gears up for her upcoming project, Pooja Meri Jaan, fans eagerly anticipate witnessing her versatile talent and unwavering commitment to her craft unfold once again on the big screen.
